Excerpt from Robert FrostUnder the long fell's stony eavesThe ploughman, going up and down,Ridge after ridge man's tide-mark leaves,And turns the hard grey soil to brown.Striding, he measures out the earthIn lines of life, to rain and sun;And every year that comes to birthSees him still striding on and on.The seasons change, and then return;Yet still, in blind, unsparing ways,However I may shrink or yearn.The ploughman measures out my days.His acre brought forth roots last year;This year it bears the gleamy grain;Next Spring shall seedling grass appear:Then roots and corn and grass again.Five times the young corn's pallid greenI have seen spread and change and thrill;Five times the reapers I have seenGo creeping up the far-off hill:And, as the unknowing ploughman climbsSlowly and inveterately,I wonder long how many timesThe corn will spring again for me.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
